It's entirely possible that this news arrives with you too late to do chuff all about it, if you wanted, but what the heck: it's this or something about Creed again.

Scottish skinny boys Franz Ferdinand are to play a show to a mere 300 people this Monday (March 13th), at London's Koko venue, Camden. (Would this be a good time to remind DiS readers that your favourite music website's own Colin and Mike are DJing the very same venue this very evening? No? Fine.)

The why of the matter is Channel 4's new - and really not all that (have you seen it?) - Chart Show; Franz will perform their forthcoming single 'The Fallen' for the cameras and crowd alike, along with a couple'a others.

Also appearing: Placebo, Killa Kella and The Kooks.

The tickets are free, but you're gonna have to jump through hoops to get 'em. Or cross your fingers and click here for, like, more information.
